Description
When the SL viewer is running, and I toggle to another computer and then toggle back, the SL viewer freezes / is non-responsive. Also, any typing I do with other programs is affected, where characters are dropped and others are repeated.
After about 2-3 minutes, SL viewer will occasionally un-freeze and resume as normal but in most cases I have to kill it and start the viewer again.
UPDATE: Just toggled and SL viewer again froze. However, I can still hear regional audio from the viewer, so it makes me wonder if its just the visual aspect that is frozen.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the report. Start by reproducing the freeze while switching through a KVM, then determine whether the visual client, keyboard input, or both stop responding while regional audio continues; done means the viewer remains responsive after switching away and back.
